Nice job on the radio. I have to start doing something about
my cabinets... I have been leaving them alone lest I do
something bad to them...

Your $100 price was good, hard to find any cathedrals around here
anymore. Last one I got was a 70 for $135 at an antique mall
south of Rochester.

Thanks guys. Im happy with it. It was one of those sets that make you stop for a minute and need to make a decision whether to work on it or leave it alone. From what I could tell, it was 100% original- right down to the cloth power cord. I had to change out a few parts to get it working so its not as original as it was, but it sure plays nice!
